Endless Systems
Chapter 10

“What do you mean, Liu Siyue?”

Liu Siyue lowered her body and sat on the grass of the garden.

“Since long ago, I've always wanted to try to fight with big brother. Seeing as my abilities developed and training on my brother's side. However, I am not like Mingming or big brother who has great talent. So I always lagged behind in cultivating”

Liu Shan was surprised to hear his words. He again flashed into an old memory when he still had the ability to cultivate.

It was true Liu Siyue said, that Liu Shan and Mingming were a child from the Liu family that contained talent. Liu Shan at the age of 13, first measured his cultivation level to reach a three-star junior fighter, while Mingming earned a two-star.

In contrast to them, Liu Siyue gained a normal level. He lived as the only child who did not have great talent from birth. Only her persistence that wanted to continue practicing and idolizing Liu Shan was what made her step forward continuously.

The standing Liu Shan lowered his body and sat beside Liu Siyue in the middle of the garden.

On the other hand, Liu Siyue resumed her words.

“I tried to cultivate to become stronger in order to train with big brother. But it was never achieved. And now, my brother is back. With the same power, big brother made everyone surprised, including myself”

“I always have to work twice as hard to catch up with you two. But suddenly that day came. The day that brother lost his cultivating ability. For some reason, in my heart, I felt relieved. The strong brother back then had become someone weak to protect”

“I'm pathetic, right? Happy for the fate of her own brother who is in trouble. Pretend to be strong while brother is weak, in order to look great in the eyes of others.

Looking directly into his sister's eyes, Liu Shan could feel Liu Siyue's feelings holding back tears while saying that.

However, there was one thing Liu Shan wanted to get straight.

“It turns out it's a burden that's inside you...”.

He raised his hand and wiped away the tears flowing down his sister's cheeks.

“Liu Siyue's. When you lost your ability, I thought it was the end of your life. Not having the ability to cultivate within such a cruel world, it was just like living a void”

“But, brother still has you. Mom, Dad, Mingming, all the servants in the house and you. Without you guys trying to protect me, maintaining my good name, I wouldn't have this much determination”

Liu Shan's two eyes stared gently and thoroughly into Liu Siyue's eyes. He said solemnly, as if every inch of his words and feelings were flowing into Liu Siyue.

“Don't blame yourself for your role in protecting me. Whether you're happy with my weak self or not. Whatever you do, you will always be my sister. And brother's feelings won't change in loving you”

A gentle swipe at the head from the elder brother made the last trigger of Liu Siyue let go. The feeling she endured for years in seeing her brother's miserable life unfolded and made him come to jump in her arms.

The cry was lurking incessantly within Liu Shan's embrace. He just fell silent and hugged his sister while waiting for her to finish letting go of all those feelings.

Days have passed and the moon has changed places with the sun. A bright morning illuminated Liu Shan's room curtain gently. He who had woken up was already drenched by the sweat of his daily mission.

“96… 97… 98… 99… 100!”

The sit-ups he had done had reached the last point and his daily mission had been completed.

[Training and cultivation for 60 minutes - done ]

[Basic movement training of close range martial arts - finished ]

[ Body muscle mass training: Push up, sit up, squats 100x each - finish ]

Liu Shan who stood up saw his body drenched in sweat. He immediately cleaned it and looked for a change of clothes.

“Phew. But, the benefits for my physique are very great”

While she was looking for a change of clothes, the system appeared before her by giving her a status report.

judgment of the Earth's palm: MP - 100

Description: The gathering of Ki energy that is centered into the palm of the hand. Is unleashed into a deadly attack that can destroy his opponent's body ]

As Liu Shan read he had obtained a skill, curiosity began to surge and his mind imagined about the skill's movements.

“Judges of the palm of the earth.. from my MP now, means I can only use it four times huh..”.

As he muttered, suddenly there was a knock on the door from behind his door.

Liu Shan who was still bare-chested looked for her clothes while answering her.

“Masuk”

Creak

Slowly the door began to open, and behind it was Xiao Nian who was the servant of the Liuuu Residence. He bowed respectfully to Liu Shan while wanting to give a message.

“Good morning, young master. Xiao Nian brought a message...”.

When Xiao Nian raised his head and opened his eyes, he saw Liu Shan who was still bare-chested. The upper body formed a strong and dashing muscle curve makes the female instinct to come out. His eyes widened and his mouth opened like drooling from being stunned at his good looks.

While Liu Shan who immediately put on his clothes turned to look towards Xiao Nian. He looked at her who was speechless and stared blankly at her like a rock.

“Hm? Xiao Nian?”

From the call, Xiao Nian, who was still stunned, immediately regained his senses and bowed to Liu Shan again.

“Eh-! Ah, forgive Xiao Nian young master. Xiao Nian saw that there was a slight problem in front of the Liu family residence, and it seemed that young miss Liu Siyue was having a fight with someone”

Liu Shan who heard the message opened his eyes wide. His attention became focused towards Xiao Nian and asked for a more detailed explanation.

“Liu Siyue you said?! With whom?!”

“Xiao Nian believes that he is the young master of the Liuan family, Lian Ping”

Upon hearing the name, Liu Shan's memories began to explore the past events of the owner of the body.

Lian Ping's. The young master of the Liuan family who had always been chasing after Liu Siyue. In the past, he acted as a good friend of Liu Shan and was considered like his own brother.

However, when Liu Shan's strength disappeared, he stayed away and no longer cared about him. He even bullied her and pretended not to know her. In the absence of Liu Shan who had the ability, he could chase after Liu Siyue without any difficulty, even if he had to use his strength.

After comprehending that person's rotten intentions from the exploration of his memories, the anger from Liu Shan began to peak to give rise to a powerful aura around his room. Even Xiao Nian himself lowered his head and trembled in fear at the aura that could shake that one room.

DUMM!!

“(Young gentlemen... get angry!)”

“Take me there, Xiao Nian. I'll teach you a lesson against rotten people who want to take my sister!”
